Featuring...

Looney Lutherans

Join “the Looney Lutherans” in a presentation entitled “USE YOUR FOOD, a guide to healthy living inside and out, from our kitchen to yours. EAT LIKE A LUTHERAN!” Using music, comedy, and some help from the audience, these talented ladies share some of their age old wisdom for living a long and healthy life…the Lutheran way! (But you don’t have to be Lutheran to love ‘em!!)


Tonic Sol-fa
The New York Times describes Tonic Sol-fa's sound as "A vocal kaleidoscope... unique to the human voice." Improvisational and passionate music combined with cutting-edge stage presence is the benchmark by which critics and fans agree: nobody does it like Tonic Sol-fa. www.tonicsolfa.com

Joe Brandmeier
Author "Up North"

I get 75 words to tell you about 25 years of experience.

As a producer/director I’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing artists and major networks. Along the way, I’ve picked up all kinds of cool awards. (...how many words is that so far?)

But that’s what I do, not who I am. I’m a passionate person, who loves his family and the north woods. I hope you can feel that in my pictures.

(80 words… darn it!)
